The Brousseau Inuit Art Gallery is a family-run business that has been renowned for over 40 years for its expertise in the sales, the promotion and the diffusion of contemporary Canadian Inuit sculptures.

Located in the heart of the historic old-town of Quebec City, the gallery gives a very varied audience the opportunity to explore and discover one of the largest collection of Inuit sculptures in North America.

The diversity in the art demonstrates the immense creativity of the artists of Canada’s Far North.

The Gallery’s History

The Brousseau Inuit Art Gallery was born thanks to the passion of Mr. Raymond Brousseau, an avid art collector.

His first gallery, which was named Aux Multiples Collections, was inaugurated in 1974 on Saint-Anne Street, in Old Quebec. Many other galleries were to be established during the following years, including one on De Buade Street and one in the famous Château Frontenac.

In 1998, The Brousseau Inuit Art Gallery is moved to its current location, on 35 Saint-Louis Street in Old Quebec.

Musée d'art inuit brousseau

Mr. Raymond Brousseau created, in parallel to his work as a gallery owner, a museum dedicated entirely to Inuit art. Inaugurated in 1999, the Musée d’art Inuit Brousseau displays, on a surface area of 500 square metres, exceptional works of art collected since the 1950s. This non-profit organization, over its six years of existence, allowed thousands of visitors to learn about the art and the culture of the Inuit.

The Musée d’art Inuit Brousseau closed in 2005, following the donation and transfer of the collection to the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. A portion of this collection is currently exhibited in the new Pierre Lassonde building of the museum.
